Biography
Producer Elias Querejeta has been behind a number of important Spanish films including two films by
Victor Erice,
The Spirit of the Beehive (1973) and
The South (1982),
Carlos Saura's
The Hunt (1965), and
Ricardo Franco's Pascual Duarte (1975). With such achievements as his, it might be tempting to rest on one's laurels, but that is not Querejeta's way. Even after over three decades in the film industry, Querejeta remains a tireless promoter of new directors and screenwriters. Before becoming involved with film, Querejeta was a well-known soccer player. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
